I have been doing floral design for 30 + years. It is my passion. I love creating perfect combinations for brides and grooms. We work very hard to create a floral palette that is personally theirs. They are the true designers in their weddings with us providing the expertise. My crew carries my same passion as it was their own. We promise we will design each and every wedding with our compassion and knowledge.

Kay is AMAZING! I was a little nervous to meet at her house, but she is professional and the outcome was worth my hour drive for each meeting. I had a lot of pictures from Pinterest as "visions" but nothing of what I REALLY wanted--Kay made it come to life. She was quick to answer emails and texts and really put me at ease for the setup on the day of my wedding. My bouquet was gorgeous and my husband even commented on how the boutonnieres complimented our theme for the day. Beautiful arrangements by a wonderful designer!

From the moment we first spoke with Beautiful Crazy Day of Coordinator, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication was always timely, kind, and professional. The quality of their work was simply wonderful - they were outstanding in their attention to every detail, and truly made our wedding day so smooth and seamless. They were so kind as to put the flowers in the vases and made them look so beautiful. At one point my feet were hurting, and Justine's daughter ran to the ceremony building to get my other shoes, without any prompting. They made sure that we had snacks on our table, and were so attentive throughout the whole night. They even went above and beyond and set out all our prepared appetizers for the guests. They were both incredible and really felt like family. Beautiful Crazy Day of Coordinator is worth every penny and more - they are simply the best, and we can't thank them enough for helping make our wedding day so special.

I would 100% recommend Prestige. When I initially reached out for booking, Noah was professional, communicative, and took the time to learn more about our event. We needed an al a carte service for our wedding reception since we did the ceremony prior and Noah was flexible and helpful in making that happen! They're more than happy to give helpful suggestions to fit your event and take the time to learn about you and what you hope for in a DJ. I really don't think our event would've been the same without them. DJ Fadi was our DJ for the night and he was great! He was so sweet and we had a blast on the dance floor. He made sure everything flowed smoothly and checked-in with us throughout the night. The online portal system is also a huge perk. There's automated reminders, and an organized system for choosing your special dance songs, song requests, etc. Noah and Fadi were very responsive throughout the whole process and I'd definitely trust this team for any future events!

The quality of their work was truly stunning - the beautiful arch floral arrangement, the gorgeous bridal bouquet, and all the other items they created for our wedding party were high-quality and breathtaking.

Noelle is a magician when it comes to hair and makeup! I sent her photos of what I wanted, and she matched them to a tee. I just got married 2 days ago and don’t have all of my photos. But I truly wish I had photos from the end of the night to show you, because even on a sunny 87 degree day, my curls were still in tact, my makeup looked like it had just been applied, and everything was still all around flawless. Seriously Noelle, you are MAGIC. Thank you for everything. You made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, and you were a ton of fun to work with. I can never thank you enough.

My Husband and I visited 5 venues and fell in love with not only the Holly Vault but also Alisa and her team. We fell in love with the unique space and felt that it was the perfect space for us. We loved that the venue offered and/or included: linens, tables, chairs, silverware, plates, catering, drinks, coordinator, getting ready space, and ceremony options. Alisa is the best of the best and thought about every detail that I would never have thought about. She made our day memorable and seamless from start to finish. We were truly able to live in the moment and didn’t have to worry about getting drinks, missing our desserts or appetizers because they were placed at our table throughout the night. Alisa was so easy to work with and her communication was clear and fast. If I had a question I would just either email or text her and would get response within 24 hours. I was completely confident in the team and they made wedding planning easy and my wedding day seamless. Out of all the venues we visited and all teams we have met, the Holly Vault collection is truly the best venue and the team is the best of the best. I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again because of this team and venue!

Hello! My name is Tonya. First and foremost, I am a mom to a beautiful little boy (who, let's face it, is completely tired of mom's camera!). I started behind a camera almost fifteen years ago when my grandpa first showed me how to use his. I live for the click of the shutter, capturing those moments that will be gone but never forgotten. Having been a previous cast member at Walt Disney World (and other theme parks), I found that I love the organized chaos that comes with photographing a wedding. Not to mention, who doesn't adore capturing the love between two people?

Awarded Best of Zola
Tonya had a lovely, quality approach to capturing our special day, and her knowledgeable expertise really shone through. Tonya's very chill vibe matched our own and helped ease any stress on the wedding day, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. We got our preview photos very quickly which is always nice - and we can't wait to see them all, we know they'll be stellar.

I cannot say enough great things about the stylists with Tiffany Elie Makeup Artistry! On top of being extremely talented with both hair and makeup, and executing the exact look everyone wanted, they were so kind and professional. Sam, Ashley, and Viktoriia were incredible to work with for my wedding. I was also impressed with how they are able to work around unexpected hiccups - their assistant had a family emergency the night before my wedding, but they were able to make minimal changes to the schedule to make sure we were all still ready on time. I could not be happier with my hair and makeup team!

I’ve put off writing this review because I didn’t want to do a disservice to the Treasury. To start, the venue is stunning, it made planning so easy for a bride like me who had no idea where to start for decor. The thing that you can’t see in pictures is how incredible the staff is. They were super communicative throughout the entire process. Any questions I had, they would answer within a day or two of me reaching out. They were proactive when a deadline came up, sending a heads up message a few weeks before so even if I had forgotten, I had time to get everything together. Finally, I did not expect their attentiveness on the actual day of our wedding but Hayley and Josh helped make us feel so special the whole day. The discord on wedding Facebook and TikTok is that the venue coordinator is there for the venue and to not expect them to help out day of except for anything venue related. That was not my experience at all, for example, I got sucked into talking to guests while dinner was being served and yet almost an hour after everyone ate, Josh arranged my husbands and my dinner in the private room, and it was freshly cooked and still hot. My wedding day was one of my best days so far, and so much of that can be attributed to the Treasury.

As someone who is VERY particular about their hair, I cannot recommend Kimberley enough.

I have very fine, thin hair and Kimberley made sure that my hair looked voluminous but not overdone, and that all of my “bald spots” were covered. Kimberley is not just a hair stylist, she is an artist. She carefully places each and every piece until it is just right. Kimberley takes her time and uses products that do not weigh down your hair while at the same time keeping it firmly in place. I entrusted Kimberley for both engagement photos and my wedding day and it was the best decision I made. I cannot more highly recommend her for not only special occasions, but any of your hair care needs!

Hi, I’m Katy—a Michigan-based wedding photographer who loves to travel! I’ve been capturing love stories since 2016, blending vibrant, warm, and moody vibes with a mix of documentary, candid, and romantic styles. I’m a goofball at heart, so if you’re worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, don’t be—we’ll have fun and create photos you’ll love. When I’m not behind the lens, I’m enjoying good food (send me your bar and restaurant recs!), live music, or cheering on the Detroit Red Wings. Let’s connect and tell your story your way!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.

Planning my own wedding opened my eyes to what my strengths are; detailed, organized, multi-tasker, but wanting to find the fun. Coming from a high demand business of new construction and real estate, I have the confidence and background of customer service and facing potential high stress situations. Female-owned and lead.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was about 4 months out from my wedding date when I came to terms that I needed help - as any bride who thought they could do it all on their own lol. I was struggling finding my last two vendors - draping & aisle runner. I knew on the day of the wedding I simply just could not be everywhere at once and needed extra hands. Luckily I came across Monica on Zola and thank God I did. I mainly reached out to her to assist with the rehearsal and day of coordinating but she went above and beyond that. In addition to helping secure my last two vendors, Monica made sure I stayed on top of everything and gave suggestions on things I didn’t even think of in regard to smaller details and flow of events. She was readily available if ever I needed her opinion or guidance on anything…. Or if I needed to just vent and rant lol. I literally did not have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding because of Monica and her assistant. They executed everything to a tee. Monica is dependable, empathetic, efficient and a joy to work with. If we ever do another large scale celebration, we will be sure to reach out to Monica again. Highly recommend!

  • Serves Utica, MI

I’m Julia - people always ask me how long I’ve been a photographer for and the cliché (but true) answer is for forever. I’ve walked through many alleys that led me to photographing weddings. I worked for the Field Museum photographing meteorites during my college years in Chicago, then worked as a freelancer in the automotive industry when I moved back to Michigan, and worked in a studio photographing everything from seniors to pets. It wasn’t until 5 years ago I decided I loved photographing weddings and couples. I feel like they’re all connected somehow. I'm lucky I found my niche and even luckier that I got to run with it.

Buckle up, we are planning on writing an incredible review. To future brides & grooms reading our review: If you are going to do anything right for your wedding day (besides marrying your best friend), hire Julia as your wedding photographer!!! We can not stress enough how much Julia impacted our wedding day. First, she has your back. She helped us keep calm and keep our timeline on track. Julia had a great sense of reading the room. She was by our side when we needed her. Second, we had a BLAST! Julia kept our energy UP (she's a Leo, if you know you know). She had both of us laughing, smiling, and overall happy. Even our bridal party and family LOVED Julia's professionalism and how she conducts group photos. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her and plan on using her in the future. She's seriously that good. Third, her photography style was exactly what we needed. She is super knowledgeable about poses, lighting, background, etc. She was honest and explained why she had us do certain pictures. She took into account any preferences we had (standing on the left side rather than the right, mobility concerns, etc). Also, be ready to get creative! Overall, Julia is the best wedding photographer we could've asked for and so happy she got to capture our wedding day!

Ronda Akande Bridal Hair 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $850
  • Serves Utica, MI

My name is Ronda, a professionally trained hairdresser that has recently relocated to Michigan. I’m a wife, mom and dog-mama. When I’m not in the Midwest, my husband and I spend a few months out of the year in the Caribbean on the beautiful island of Antigua (“wink wink” to all my destination brides!). In my free time, I love traveling, going to the beach with our Frenchie named “Tigua” and sipping a spicy margarita. My mission is to continue to create beautiful looks for my Brides, share my knowledge with other aspiring hairdressers, and hopefully inspire others to manifest their biggest dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so grateful for Ronda. She was so wonderful on my wedding day, and the whole party enjoyed chatting with her and it was a fun and relaxed morning with my best friends. I could not get over how stunning everyone hair turned out in the whole bridal party. She took the time with every girl to look at pictures and talk through what they wanted and even what they didn't want. She made sure I got exactly what I hoped for and looking back at the pictures - everyone's hair stayed perfectly together all night! I am so so happy I booked with her.
